Yesterday, my Kansas City Chief signed 32-year-old running back Thomas Jones. Good for my Chief, bad for my Texans.
The Texans stood hard and fast by their "no-running-back-over-30" stance and I thing it's hurt 'em this time. They also passed up on Chester Taylor, who went to the Bears.
The Chief got a virtual steal at 2 years, $5M for Jones, who is coming off back to back spectacular seasons. While it's true, Jones' shelf life in the league is quickly expiring, signing Jones would have made an immediate impact in the Texans' backfield. Instead, we're relying on Steve Slaton (I told you not to get too hyped on him!), Arian Foster, and Ryan Moats (who is a restricted free agent and could possibly leave). Thank God Chris Brown will be gone.
Detractors will bring up the disaster that was Ahman Green, but don't start with me on that. Green basically came into camp on crutches and didn't last two games.
Maybe I shouldn't worry too much. I'm sure Kubiak will figure something out. Is Quentin Griffen available? Olandis Gary?
Why aren't my paragraphs separating in this post? I have no idea.
